Does not work anymore, is dead..... what is the point to report 'not working'?
As of 08/25/2014, Bancorp cards (Vanilla Visa, OneVanilla, etc.) are rarely working first try for debit transactions at Walmart. There is no apparent geographical basis. Basically, it's a crapshoot.
Do not agitate a cashier or store and lose the ability to make these transactions in the future. Multiple failed swipes or transactions will likely increase scrutiny. You do not want that. It is best to stop using these cards.
Vanilla VISA defaulting to credit
As of 5/29/2014, at most Walmart locations, all Vanilla VISA cards issued by The Bancorp Bank are automatically recognized as credit. Most Mastercard have required a workaround for some time. The MoneyCenter Express (ATM, kiosk, Kate) is not affected by this change.

Eh, here it seems to be everyone. I think the "Can I get five MOs for $449.41 each?" also raises questions. With WM, I always gave them the 70 cents in coins and got $500 MOs, but carrying 59 cents multiple times is a bit more annoying than carrying two quarters and two dimes for each MO.

last few pages of discussion have been hilarious, everything from ppl blaming bloggers to newbs to ppl showing their cards to frontline employees (as if the min wage workers magically wave an IT wand and change system dynamics instantly).... its clear what 'killed' this are not necessarily the relatively small-time hordes, or newbs or even those that threw fits... but rather those pushing HUGE numbers at the WMs in their area.
you didnt think anyone was gonna notice and take nationwide action? $1M/month stands out like a sore thumb anywhere, you dont need a special algorithm for that. these are the folks who ruined it imho.

For the uninitiated, see this.

Isn’t it nice that Walmart has a convenient public
place to go to see all
the work a rounds in a nice Wiki for their IT to patch
up.
I wonder why it is consistently changing every
week......hmmmmmm......
This does cost the stores money, don’t kid
yourself. They get charged
that interchange fee on every debit card you swipe.
FT Wiki is WM IT's to-do list.
